"Yeah, I'm really messed up right now. The rumors are cleared, the stock's bouncing back, and now you think I'm a burden? Fine, I'll move out," Emily shot back, standing up to leave. Michael quickly got up and blocked her path. "When did I ever say that? Emily, stop with the moving out talk. I've been swamped and exhausted, I can't keep comforting you."

His words were straightforward and sincere. He looked at Emily, feeling a wave of helplessness wash over him.
